make bootstrap did that; it deletes all .elc files.

generic-make-keywords-list should be autoloaded.  Could you revert
your change to lisp/generic-x.el and do another make bootstrap?  Does
generic-make-keywords-list show up in your lisp/loaddefs.el?  Does
your bootstrap-emacs contain the (autoload) definition of
generic-make-keywords-list?
